This episode is deep! Almost me had me crying.

Gosh. I miss those days when things were cool. You couldn't buy cool. You were either Sonny & Crockett cool or you weren't. Brothers in Arms with the Ferrari shots!!?? Fuggadeboutit!!! Best Miami Vice ending.

From the title on, this disturbing episode uses euphemisms for mental illness. Tubbs provides the title when he says Weldon is "out there where the buses don't run," meaning crazy. Later, Crockett says Weldon has "left his groceries at the store" (or words to that effect), again referring to the former cop's instability. How colorful we are with our ways to talk about mental illness. Only near the end, when the guys see that Weldon has destroyed his beloved computer (how quaint was that floppy disk?) does Tubbs make a serious comment about mental illness, when he asks if maybe there's something they could do for him, given that, as disturbed as he was, he'd helped them crack a case. Even then, Crockett reminds Tubbs how foolish it is to think of getting help for a mentally ill cop, sarcastically suggesting they send him to the crazy ex-cop retirement home. It's sad and ironic that men who put themselves in harm's way for some ideal of good -- whether pursuing drug dealers in 1980s Miami or El Qaida in 2009 Afghanistan -- fall hardest and seem to have no nets available. Except the net provided by their brothers in arms.
